Nada. Tried everything on google too. NOTHING works.

WTF.

='( I've tried everything that anyone has tried ( or so I've seen ) with no results.. my internet is working fine though.. just cs is ****ing me over. Why would it just be doing this? Nothing makes sense. I use logic and reason, not code.

I'm gonna bump this again because I'm desperate.

No, Google isn't helping.

I'm going to bump this again. Does anyone know of a fix for this? And why the hell did it just start lately, that doesn't makes sense either.

It's still happening. It worked at my cousins and grandparents houses just fine. So my router it is? If so, that blows.

[SingleMan]

I have the same problem right now. I came home for thanksgiving, and only my Mac is having problems. I have the same problem as you, my internet connection sucks. I'm wireless though, but no matter how close I am, it dosn't make a difference. I've never had the problem in Auburn, only when I'm back at my parents place. I go back tomorrow, so I don't really care, but it is kind of annoying.

Wait. . .it's only CS that's causing the issue?

And I'm assuming with the above statement, you tried CS at other places and it worked just fine? If so, what type of router do you have? Have you updated firmware on it?

I used to have a router that, after about a month of being on, used to just slowly decrease speed until the connection just ran to a crawl.

Also, can the other people in the house play CS just fine, or is it only you? I don't remember seeing you say whether or not that was the case.

Now, I can tell you that when I gamed with my WiFi setup, my Linksys used to take a major **** on me and totally disconnect me.

Seems that CS is causing it, yes.

Just fine, I have the linksys wrt54g, they could play iirc.

That's weird. What do the router settings look like?

And I don't remember you saying. . .did you try your computer on a different cable?

By the way, to answer your question about whether a cable can just up and die. . .yes, they can. Could be the connection to the terminators at the end finally gave out. . .could be that one of the wires is barely tapped. Could be that near the end of the cable the wires finally gave out if it's a solid-core cable. Could be many things. :-\

As as example, at my old job, we had a user that could receive, but not send data. When we checked the wiring in the wall, 1 of the wires for the transmit pair was disconnected. . .it had worked for almost 6 months prior to that, no problem. And this was in a punched down jack, with a wire that shouldn't have been moving or being stressed at all.

What do you want to see? I could just prtscn everything I see, but that seems silly.

No I haven't, but I don't see how that would affect this problem. It's not like my internet doesn't work, it's just that I lag out completely in CS after 30 sec. - 30 min. and don't have internet ( can't send packets (or is it receive?)) for a couple minutes. Then everything works fine again.. I mean, if it could be the cable doing that, then by all means I'll try a different one.

[joOEMcheapSOFTWARE]

wait - you havent tried another cable yet?

Piece of advice. . .whenever you're doing network testing, always check your cable first.

It'll save a lot of headache, and bad cables can cause some of the most idiotic and retarded problems on the planet.

[Singukil]

Why oh why.

So I thought that CS1.6 was causing this problem, but I was just proved wrong by my computer. It's just that I only really notice when playing CS since I play CS all the time..

So I'll be playing a game, or browsing the internet when suddenly out of no where my internet will just stop. My ping ( in CS ) will shoot up to 250-440 and I'll get disconnected, try to bring up the internet and get nothing. I'll wait a few minutes for it to start working again, and I'll start playing again and anywhere from 3 minutes to 30 minutes later my internet will cut out again. I checked the laptop, the downstairs computer, and my brothers computer and they will all have working internets.

I just reformatted today to try to fix the problem. Complete reformat, and I switched my spot on the router with an empty spot and still no fix.

Help?

[banditorfv]

Buggered network cable? Buggered wireless adapter? May even be the router as well...maybe.

[voksveta]

Yeah - that's a router issue.... firewall to be exact.

The firewall is blocking all traffic & released when the 'dodgy' packets stop getting sent/received.... but it's misreading packets as dodgy. I had this at my old place when I wasn't on my own router... now all is good

[Singukil]

If it was the network cable, why would I just be getting disconnected randomly? I don't think it's the router, because I've tried 3 different slots with the same result.

Doesn't matter what port you use... they're all controlled by the same thing :P

So could be dodgy router... just not a dodgy port on the router

If it the router ( We just got this wireless router a few months ago, but I use wired ) why would it only be happening to me?

and if was blocking packets temporarily, why would everyone else be able to use the internet but me when I get 'kicked off' ? I mean, it cuts me off randomly, even not when playing CS, and I'll go into my brothers room and his internet works. I could just be browsing futuremark and youtube, then nothing.

Ah - fair dos then.... sounds like it's something with the cable you're using/your NIC

[Singukil]

If it was the cable, why would it happen so sporadically? and only for a couple minutes at a time?

Mice crimping and uncrimping the wire? =P

But I'd rather it be the wire than the router..

NIC?

Which OS you have?

I had same kind of problems myself and fixed it by trying a different NIC driver. (I'm using Vista Business)

There are lots of issues with NIC drivers and VISTA... Try finding another driver for your NIC...
